I checked my site stats and more than 50 people have downloaded it. It would be really nice to know your thoughts/feelings about the mod, thx. Hmm, maybe everyone is busy playing the game :p

Extremely cool, I love the combination of flame/poison damage with the effect of the force push together...

Downloading.

Glad somebody likes the DS like me:D This all started out fairly innocently when I wanted something that could disgust and repel those smart arses on Mananan without penalty of course. The Mananan choker and the Choke anyone mods are must haves for any true DS player.

In reviewing those scripts I realized that a new force power could be a nice addition to the DS players of the community. I thought about it more after seeing Lord of Illusions for the 100th time LOL.
While I enjoy most of the DS powers, I felt something more veil and disgusting was needed. So I started to work on this mod.

The original idea was just a taint that once activated anyone that comes too close to the DS PC would be replused and slightly poisoned due to the virulent nature of the force exuding from the DS player. However, once I got to tinkering I figured out that a new force power would be a better mod for the community at large.

I had to do ALOT of testing/adjusting to get all of the damage and visual effects to work correctly in combination with each other. I showed it to my nephew and he thought it was "totally cool" so I decided to release it upon the community. Hope you enjoy it.

Let me ask you something, could you make a Choke MOD but for every planets including Taris?
I know it is a lot of work but if you need any help I'm here.
Please just think about it.
It would be very nice!

Hey Reload check your Bandon thread bro:cool:

The choker mod up on PCgames by Tk102 is the one you want. That one chokes the closest non team member with a 17 meter range upon activation. Careful with it though because it can choke trough a closed door abd such. I accidently killed a prisoner I was to free using it once. :D

Cool looking mod, I would use it, but I play lightside only most of the time, but I will download it judt in case...:D

The penalty is minor by the time the power comes into play. Oh just wait my friend I have some AWESOME LS stuff in the works.

2 things:
1st: Very very very nice Force Power :D I loved it!
2nd: i dont know if this is supposed to happen, the description of the Power is not showing, instead I get this msg: Bad StrRef.
Have I did something wrong?

But still is a very good work!
Keep up with these good jobs! :cool:

Yeah It was recommended not to mess with the games string table files, although I have seen a couple of things done I could not do. SO it is correct, no name just the pictures of the powers and the badstrgref thingy is so that it does not crash and there is no need to provide an additional modded file.

Glad you like the force power. It took me a little more time than it should have, because getting the effects and scripting correct was a bear.

BTW, just a word of advice to those that want to mod that involves scripts(this is programming) SYNTAX! SYNTAX! SYNTAX! One wrong character or period here or there and the complier will NOT work. Also, make sure your script makes (computer) sense because evenyhough the varibles are defined, if they are not used correctly or incorretly combined with each other, the complier won't work. CHeers!

Nice work! :) this is interesting to me since i made a force power that turns ennemies into allies during a certain amount of time. Right now i have it as an armband but i want to turn it into a real force power. Once this is done I also have to test it a bit more and get an icon (for this I have recruited the Super Photoshop Master: svцsh ) before releasing it.

Err...do you still want me to review the k_inc_force.nss? I chekced it earlier today and there are a few strange things... the destroy droid power wouldn't have any effects when compiled. Did that happened to you? I have no problem changing the duration of FP though. :confused:

Svosh is one of my favorite modders, but I really like all of you guys. Glad you like the force new power. :cool:

That ID switch sounds off the hook! To be honest I never messed with the destroy droid power. I think it is one of those lite light side powers that I on the DS see as a bit of a waste. One or two good electric shocks or an Ion grenade does just fine with most droids in the game, that or a force jump strike and blammo! :bdroid2:

I've got a few more modding ideas in the works as it has become a bit of an addiction:devburn:

Excellent ! And good background story too. I don't want to sound like your english teacher, but maybe you should pay more attention to spelling ;)

Thanks Meek. It was late when I wrote that up. I think spell check was not working:D

Glad you like the force power and the background story. I figured there needed to be some kind of story that helps explain where the powers came from and why they are DS oriented.

I was tinkering around with some scripting and visual effects stuff again and came up with some interesting stuff for new powers. Once I complete the testing and do the write up I'll release that as well.

PS.Love your DS art works.

A good ol bump for the 3 new powers added to the mod. Just click on the link in the original top post. The powers are detailed there and on the site with a full pictorial for your viewing pleasure. ENJOY!

hey Darth Khasei, your Dark force powers look amazing! but i was wondering if you could create a force power without poison? it just seems that your force powers are based apon poison and i was thinking, lets get some powers without poison? if thats ok with you. MattCole

P.S.
ITS MY 100th POST!!! HELL YEAH!!!
I JUST CANNOT BELEIVE I'VE DONE ONE HUNDRED POSTS!!!
I'M CHUFFED TO LITTLE MINT BALLS!!!

I agree, also another thing that I think is that you should perhaps think of not using visiual effects cuz in the movies there is no visual effects :D .
Still, they are very nice Force Powers!
Keep up with the good work :D .

yeah it gets rid of the stupid visual effects, i've got it but i don't know who made it, though it is on the new holowan plug-in 2 by T7nowhere at www.pcgamemods.com/6/)

Seprithro created that mod, called "Feel the Force".

Try the Search function. It works wonders.

Hey guys glad you like the new powers. I knew about that mod and it is perfect for those that do not want the awesome visuals that come with the force powers in the game. They add a nice little bit of spice and variety to the game IMHO. But like Tk102 said, the mod is already out there that removes the force visuals, give it a shot.

Regarding the virulent aspect of these force powers. The poison and choke based scripts are the easiest to work with for a non programer like me. What I did do though is varied the poison effects so that each one has a different chance/level of poisoning. In addition, the type of damage, save chances, other damage aspects of the powers make them all different and unique. Poison is just "one" aspect of the scripts that has a chance to cause damage there are many others. These are multi tiered powers that attack the victim in several ways.

BTW, IMHO many of the force powers in the game are just too nice. These are supposed to be the most evil veil people in the galaxy, capable of wiping out entire planets. Those kinds of guys would be whipping biological weapons around like candy! LOL!

TK102, man I must have tried over 50 different visuals over the last few days. I'll give those entires a look asap.

Just to make sure we're on the same page -- the numbers I listed there were for the 'name' and 'spelldesc' fields. You can search for other things too using KTLK or KotorTLK available on PCGameMods site.

in reference to this

Duh, Leaving my page, getting on your page:D

I updated the site with some shots of our Blood Red Revan robe. Masked and maskless.

Is there a way I could safely add this to the Halowan plugin? I'd love to use these on a fresh DS character (I wanna try that alternate ending) but that plugin is too handy to trade off for these.

It has a spells.2da, but I think that's just the force replication power, so if I replaced it would it screw up anything (other than removing that power)?

Your force powers sound pretty cool, will give them a try. Also, I'm glad to see another LOMAC player. Can't wait until 1.02 is out.

Nevermind that question, much to my delight I noticed you included force replication (in the same rows too) in this 2da, so it seems safe to simply replace the halowan one with it.

LOMAC ROCKS!.

Yes you can safely use this file with the H-plug-in. It also includes the force choke and as you stated force replication entries in the spells.2da file to seamlessly fit the modding profile of the community leaders!

Working on a few more force powers. Just finished Firestorm. While it may sound like it is like Tainted Flame or Flame of Death it is not. Firestorm is more like a strong flamethrowing tornado type power. It does set the horrified victim on fire if he fails to save, but no poison. Icestorm might be the LS counterpart, still working on it. There are some others in the wings, just have to find the time to make and test them.

Good work mate!
If you ask me, the powers should be Dark Side :p :p :p
I love being Dark Jedi!

OK it looks like we have a limit in the spells.2da file of 143 entries:(

Stop the presses I was WRONG. I had made a human input error, actually two that caused my troubles. Nevermind the stuff I said about limits. Anyway back to modding:D

I was here already trying to say you to change mind and making 2 spells.2da 1 with you powers and the other with the other force powers but I think that wont be required anymore :D :D
Amd good luck with your MODs

Still finishing up on the latest tweaks and final touches on the new stuff.

Just so everyone knows these powers are right in line with the vast majority of the stuff in the game in terms of balance(ie. no super powers). In addition, I tried to keep them in a good progression in the game, so you can use them as a substitute or augmentation for the force powers already there. Cheers.

DK , just put a note in the thread "noob installation question" for you in regards to the mod that lets you wear armour anyway here it is again

DK : the mod to use force powers while wearing armour shouldnt conflict at all with anything youve done , its just one coloum in the mod that needs to be changed for the force/armour one to work

there is a col. named forbiditemmask , just change all of them to 0x0000 and then they will work while you are wearing armour

ot :

youll see in the force jump line under rqditemmask is 0x0040 this the lightsaber code thing so that force jump only works with a lightsaber , you could change that to 0x0000 aswell to make it so you dont need a lightsaber to jump

Ok everyone it is finally ready. After a lot of hard work I have been able to update and at this moment "finalize" the Dark Lords Force Powers Mod. I have updated the top post in this thread to reflect all of the new details. I encourage everyone to download it as it updates the prior version. Cheers

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!
I got a lil carried on!!!!
Cant wait to try those powers!!!!
They all should be Dark Side tho!! MWAHUAHUAHUHAUHAU.. LoL.

I know what you mean:D While the balance in numbers may be on the DS side, the actually powers themselves are quite balance for a DS or LS playerss. The two Uni powers would be a must for the LS player while more optional for the DS player.

There are a few nice little surpises with the powers
;)

Hey Nice Work you must be proud, i prefer to play LS and i WILL most defenetly DL whose!! i really like the

FORCE POWER-PHASE SHIFT

---------------------------------------------

This awesome level 12 UNIVERSAL force power attacks its victim by literally shifting the molecules in the body temporarily making the victim disappear from head to toe up to 17 meters away. The victim sustains damage and is slowed by the effects once they reassemble. Obviously there is no guarantee that the victim will be reassembled correctly. Cost 35 force points

and the bit here:
Obviously there is no guarantee that the victim will be reassembled correctly.

thats becoz you've just phase shifted him so his molecule arent coming back to normal, thats MEAN! thats really a Darkside power, isn't it! LoL btw, EXCELLENT WORK, MattCole

Yeah that was really originally intended for the DS, but I needed another UNI power to balance it out a bit. You are going to love it:D Reassembly is painful. LOL!

Just used it on the unsuspecting people of tatoine but then i realised that i killed the gate guard, BUMMER!! thats the only thing to worry about, Everyone be careful where you use it! LoL Keep the Force Mods coming as i will be waiting! MattCole

Is it possible to make the powers useable in the "Fight Force Powers" menu?
Cuz in the friendly power it's kinda dangerous for morons like me :P
I once tryied to see if it worked and killed Roland Wann on Manaan :P
result: I had to start over cuz I didnt saved.

Yeah you have to be careful when using these powers in highly populated non combat areas. They work on a similar principal as the force choke "anyone" power. :D

Yeah that has always been an issue and that is just one reason to stop at 12. But, I have not found a way to do that, as a matter of fact I don't think it can be added to that area. Sorry the limits of the game.

can you not use an original offencive force power eg lightning and use your force powers and compare, but i supose you would've tried that. MattCole

Dont be sorry!
You tryied!
VERY VERY VERY NICE MODs !
Keep up with the GOOD work!

Yeah, I fealt like that Matt :D :p

I NEVER intended any of this stuff to replace the original stuff so I did not try that. It might work I guess.

I was thinking, I have the Dark Side Choker but I dont have the Force Replicator, will they still appear on my Force Powers to choose when I gain level if I use your spell.2da?
Cuz I'm kinda lazy to rewrite all those powers on my spells.2da.
